| | InfoHub Forums - Dracula's castle? |
| | Bran Castle is definitely quite a sight and has got several cryptic rooms and a secret retreat passage that could be used to flee into the mountains in case of danger
or to leave the castle stealthily and lurk out at night. | | | It is probably this great inconvenience that has determined the cultural authorities of Romania to transplant the myth into Bran Castle, though the latter has never actually served even as a temporary residence for the Wallachian ruler. | | | It lies in the fact that Bran Castle, one of the greatest tourist attractions of Romania, is actually erroneously called Draculas Castle. |
